First of all, I'd like to express my disappointment to Exeng, there are no ridiculous questions anywhere in any subject, only stupid answers (like yours).
Why did I ask that? Because you, as a pilot, have access to different manuals. If none of these manuals report the certification of flight with flaps EXTENDED but only "flaps extension altitude" (this is my concern, the way it is written) how could you know that flying already with flaps extended above 20000 feet is out of limits?
I would never fly above that altitude with flaps extended, but as I was discussing with an instructor who would do that, I'd like to find something to be proved legally.
In simple terms, how could you prove you are out of limitations if you are not EXTENDING the flaps above 20000 feet, but you are actually climb above that altitude already in that configuration?
I hope this clarify my question...otherwise, I think you don't like to listen.
